I'm movin' on up now

"With posts like these, and even having someone else do it for you one day.. I don't think that really qualifies as a win, lol." I beg to differ; please direct me to any rule that says I can't have someone else post for me. From my understanding, all I had to do was keep my site updated every day for as long as possible. Also, other participants in the contest have posted shorter posts than mine for that days post. Sure, I could have said something else, but I mean, would you rather read that or listen to me ramble about some boring thing I did that day? "Shin, just give DDG the prize." Really, Shin. And don't go trying to tell me the prize is the insanity I've developed from the contest. *scowls* And I'm still posting every single day, even after the contest is over. I've been changed forever. Maybe this is a good thing, though. *forces a smile* Right, anyway, onto today's escapades! Escapades... right. So, I wake up this morning right? I smack the snooze button a few times, then get up, get dressed, brush my hair, brush my teeth, pull on my coat, gloves and hat and I'm halfway out the door when my mom asks me if I'd like to come with her, Lonnie and Blaike to a court appearance over Lonnie's visitation rights with Robin. I step back inside, close the door and proceed to answer with a, "Why couldn't you have asked me before I was almost all ready to go?!" But I agreed to go and had to get all changed into my dress clothes(black pants, black shirt, white overcoat). The court appearance was boring. Blaike and I ended up sitting out in the waiting room as Lonnie, my mom, Robin and her mom discussed visitation rights with first their lawyers and then in front of a judge. Hehe, I had fun actually... I was, er, scoping out the cute cops that were walking around >.> I got a thing for guys in uniforms, especially cops ~_^ So does my mom, so I told her all about the few cops I'd seen while she was elsewhere. After that, we came back home and discussed what time Blaike and I would be taken to school. It was finally decided Lonnie would take us both in around 11 AM so we wouldn't miss lunch. It was around 10 AM at the time so I headed off to my room and popped GTA:SA into my PS2 and played it for the remaining hour. I didn't get to do much. I think all I did at that time was wander around for awhile. But we were dropped off at school at around 10:50 and after getting my tardy slip, I made a short appearance in Science at around 10:53. Hehe, Mr. Elsea and I joked about it, along with Kristen. Mr. Elsea said, "Glad you could join us for a few minutes atleast," and then I retorted with, "Yeah, I know. Its great isn't it?" then Kristen came in with a, "Wow, this class has gone by really fast!" and then another retort by me with a nod, "Almost as if I was never here." I love jokes like that hehe. The rest of the day at school was pretty fun, too. Xio's mad at me because of what I've written in my story *grins* Woohoo! Hate club! >.> Er, anyway, she's really going to be mad after what I write after I post this. But, yeah, after school I plopped myself down on my bed and started playing *drum roll* GTA:SA again. And today I was a bit daring. I decided to do some very tedious and frustrating things: 1.) I listed each and every required collectable item(just the number, so I could check it off) 2.) I began going around Los Santos and checking Gang Tags and checking them off(I'm 61/100 with about half of that actually recorded) 3.) I found out I have access to the airport(okay, so that was actually pretty cool and not tedious and frustrating because I love flying the Dodo plane ^_^ Its advanced so much from its predecessing Dodos from Vice and 3) 4.) I attempted to complete the third flying school objective and actually finished the course, but unfortunately, received 0 points *wipes away tears* and 5.) I completed bike school. Now, with the subject of bike school, I'm quite good with a bike, so it was easy for me to complete, but I'm really actually ticked off at it at the moment. See, there are only like, five objectives I think and of those I have all but the very last one with a Gold certificate. The last one is the absolute hardest one and no matter what I do, no matter how much I try to follow the strategy guide's advice, I can't get 100% for it and that one objective is what's keeping me from having an NRG-900 outside the bike school. Instead, I have a lousy Freeway out there, just because I have ONE BRONZE MEDAL. See, if I have Bronze or better I get a Freeway, if I have all Silver or better, I get an NRG-900, and if I have all Gold, I get an FCR-500 or whatever. *cries* I want those bikes, dammit! Mmm... I also succeeded in breaking the record of 25 points in Kickstart at the Dirt Bike Arena across the street from the Bike School. It only took me four tries, too ^_^ And before I was forced to save and turn off the game, I went around San Fierro and took random snapshots of hilarious things. I took four that I saved to my memory card. Currently, I've got a picture of the first time I ever saw the police from out in the country(them and their stupid cowboy hats lol), the second picture is of three Triad gang members with AK-47's, standing and chatting on the steps below one of my safe houses, the third is a picture of a movie entitled, "The Wizard of Ass", the fourth is a picture of the sign outside the Naval base, "SAN FIERRO NAVAL BASE: ALL UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL WILL BE SHOT AT" and the fifth and final is a picture of the word "DUDE" on a crane. I really need to find something more constructive to do with my time lol. -DDG
